There is no general provision with the Part 139 aerodrome operating rules that enables me to require operators of aerodromes to install a discrete communications system. Rule Part 139 contains requirements for notification of aerodrome RFS in an emergency. I will consider recommending amendments to Rule Part 139 to aopt relevant wording used in Annex 14, when the Rule Part is next amended.
